Indeed, while one Omnibus after the other is being proposed to scrap rules protecting health and the environment, the promised export ban is being stalled. For reasons of #corporatelobbying by Bayer and BASF & co? Probably!

#CorporateLobbying runs the risk of Australia morphing into a capitalist version of America which it already has begun with this being allowed in Parliament of Australia and it needs to be ended.
australiainstitute.org.au The Australia Institute @australiainstitute.org.au · Jan 23
Australia is increasingly criminalising peaceful protests while allowing corporate lobbying to thrive.

As @jack-thrower.bsky.social writes - Protesting fines are expensive; lobbying is cheap. #OffTheCharts

I don’t condone violence. Eat the rich.
These aren’t mutually exclusive.

Violence wouldn’t have happened if the American people were protected from greedy corporations. END #CorporateLobbying and #CitizensUnited

When corporate lobbying weakens labor protections, environmental safeguards, or consumer rights, the costs don't disappear. They're passed on to workers, families, and communities.

Tax prep corporations lobby to keep the system complex so they can profit from providing the solution. Many other nations use automated "pro-forma" returns, but U.S. policy protects these middlemen to maintain corporate revenue and political friction.

That’s why initiatives like Social LobbyMap matter: research and data can help investors, civil society and others understand corporate influence—and, more importantly, use that evidence to push for change.
